Justin Rose, 19, jumps over a large hole he was digging with his friend Sean McMonigle, 17, at Alki Beach Monday, June 16, 2008. Rose says he's been digging holes, sometimes 8 feet deep and at least as wide, at the beach since he was young, when he started with his father. He says people continually stop to ask why they're digging. His answer: because it's good exercise and you get to play when you're done. Kids and adults alike gravitate to the pit as they jump in and over, play tag around the outside or play "king of the hole." A Seattle Parks and Recreation crew stopped by and asked them not to leave without filling the hole in, which they planned to do. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer/Andy Rogers) less
